ItemAustralian medical intellectuals and the great warDamousi, J (BLACKWELL PUBLISHING, 2007-09)This article considers the way in which the Great War created unique conditions where medical intellectuals became part of a wider canvas of debate about psychology and medicine; mind and body; and, more broadly, crossed the artificial divide between the humanities and the medical sciences. Medicine has not been usually identified as a field for “intellectuals” as such. The nature of cultural and social analysis lends itself more readily to those working in the fields of sociology, political science, literature and history. But the medical intellectuals who are the subject of this article can be seen as extending our understanding of the relationship between the self and society. Such an intellectual engagement was considerably assisted, it is argued, by the advent of the Medical Journal of Australia a month before the outbreak of war. which initially served to document practices associated with medical science, but quickly evolved into a journal that connected medicine to the broader society and wider culture. The devastating impact of the war provided an extraordinary context within which these discussions took place, and radically challenged many assumptions held by the medical profession, especially with regard to the relationship between the mind and the body.

ItemWar and Commemoration: 'The Responsibility of Empire'Damousi, J ; Schreuder, M ; Ward, (Oxford University PressOxford, 2011-10-03)Abstract This chapter examines Australians participating in British imperial wars and commemorations. It evaluates Australia’s role in different events from the Sudan expedition in the 1880s to the recent revival of interest in Anzac Day. It suggests that the memory and meaning of warfare in Australia is determined by local insistence on the reciprocal nature of Australia’s obligation to defend the Empire. This chapter also discusses the contribution of the Australian Imperial Force in World War I and the amalgamation of imperial loyalty and Australian achievement in World War II.
